Fifty years ago, over 2,000 bishops, theologians, and lay participants from 116 countries gathered in Rome. This assembly of minds was the 21st worldwide council of the church, the Second Vatican Council.

    Don’t Miss this One!!

    Fr. Ciorra hit a home run with these talks on Vatican II. I thoroughly enjoyed his presentation. He presented an excellent background on Vatican II, why it happened, and what the various Constitutions and documents mean for us both personally and as the Church as we move into this next century. He inspired me to begin reading the documents on my own and to dig deeper into what they really mean for us today. Fr. Ciorra is an engaging speaker, and I enjoyed every minute of his conferences. I plan on revisiting them soon. Highly recommended, you won’t be disappointed.

    I enjoyed the insight

    I enjoyed the insight and in-depth understanding of how the Holy Spirit worked throughout the time of the council. Even though sometimes things did not go as planned, inspired by the Spirit, things went the way they were supposed to.

    Fall Survey: October 2016

    “Spirituality” took a different look at the Council than simply an history. it went behind the scene to the heart of the matter.

  5. Douglas J., Australia

    Summer Survey: July 2017

    It helped me to understand the spiritual thrust of Vatican II and thus held before me a vision for the Church

  6. Theresa W., NY

    2018 Spring Survey

    Anything done by Fr. Ciorra is excellent! Also Transforming Trauma, but only the portions done by Dr. James Finley which gave tremendous insight into the stages and levels of the healing process
